There is a ton of research out there stating how positively impactful high-intensity interval training (H.I.I.T.) is for the human body and how it needs to be implemented into your workouts to improve your fat burning efficiency, burn more calories, etc. Awesome. There are a slew of different ways that you can include HIIT into […]

Fitness does not need to be complicated but it does need to challenge you. That is unless your Heart Rate Variability is telling you that today needs to be a recovery day or a you-can-workout-but-dial-down-your-intensity type of day. My body is going through some weird stuff lately, I’m detoxing (still), not thrilled with the weather […]

As a health coach I want nothing more than to provide you with the tools and information that you need so that you can effectively be responsible for your own health. With the emphasis on heart health plastered everywhere you look this month of February, of course I had to get in on it. But […]
